when they sing live?
It's like they lost interest in their songs and the effect they once had when sung correctly. |

Pete, I was referring to live music where the artist chops up the melody into very uninteresting phrases which render the performance uninspiring. I can't give examples because the one that impelled me to post about this issue is deceased. But, there are others that do it and it's a great disservice to the audience. |

Lost interest? Seems to me that, when he does his schlock lounge singer routine, Bill Murray appears very interested in what he's singing, it's just that nobody else is... |
